i thought michelle obama's speech, i have to say, was well crafted. i'm told that she pretty much wrote this speech herself. but i want to throw another speech into the mix. i thought castro, the keynote speaker last night, the young mayor of san antonio, he made what i thought was a real barn burner of a speech. an old fashion political speech. like we used to hear, in the days before television when politicians had to entertain the audience as well as make their point. so i think the three speeches and i would rate them in no particular order, that have been outstanding have been michelle obama, castro, and also ann romney. i thought hers clearly was the speech of that convention. i don't know if you have seen it, though, derek. the thing people seem to be remembering according to the poll out today is not any of those speeches, but the speech made by, you got it, clint eastwood. >> that does not surprise me. we have to move on to talk about today. bill clinton will be on the big stage tonight. do you expect to hear red meat or meat of another color
